At first glance, this appears to be a sort of foreboding card. It depicts a knight's tomb, one sword held over his chest, three swords hanging on the wall. But despite macabre appearances, this card is actually... rather pleasant. I know I've drawn it before, I believe for a friend, and I was just as surprised then as I am now that this card isn't about death and loneliness, but contemplation, repose, and quiet preparation.
All the cards of the swords suit can stand for some kind of challenge. This is supremely helpful when drawing cards, and you find yourself remembering the feelings the card is associated with but not exactly how to interpret them. Because of this, the Four of Swords isn't entirely positive, despite its rather peaceful energy. It's challenging you to slow down, rest, and shut the goddamn hell up.
I can safely say that I didn't entirely follow the suggestion of this card. I stayed up late when I should have gone to bed early, and now I'm tired as hell because of it.
